For years, as a personal project, I've been documenting my little corner of the globe via my personal website www.marlboroughonline.co.nz, which also gets used as my testbed for new ideas with ProcessWire, SEO and other stuff, as I'm not going to have some client on the phone if I break something, but if I do it well, I can earn a few dollars from Google adsense. I've always had a bit of a passion for natural history, being introduced to David Attenborough documentaries when I was a teenager, and actually studying life sciences at university, so it's only natural if you'll excuse the pun, that a part of my site would be dedicated to documenting local plant and animal species in my part of the world. For many years, one of go to reference websites for information about native plants has been New Zealand Plant Conservation Network, and I often include a link from my site to details on a species on the site as an authoritative reference, and I use the site to help identify plants I've photographed. It was only recently that for some reason I decided to have a look at the source code of the site, and it looked suspiciously like it was made with ProcessWire. After a bit more detective work, I found out that it was made by @Robin S and is indeed built with ProcessWire. To get away from the computer, I also teach kids edible gardens at my daughter's school a couple of hours a week. It's part of a wider Enviroschools programme here in NZ, and among other things it covers is teaching kids to recognise noxious weeds. There's a really useful website Weedbusters that's supported by councils and used as a reference for many invasive plant species, and it turns out it's more of Robin's handiwork. I think it's a bit funny that even when I'm supposedly away from ProcessWire engaging in other activities, it seems to follow me around. ?

@ryan Maybe also some Point to start: The Open Pull Requests: https://github.com/processwire/processwire/pulls

Hear, hear! ? One place to find ready answers to this question is the requests repo: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-requests/issues That repo currently has 289 ideas for improvements, and it would be fantastic if you can find the time to do a quick first pass through the repo and add any comments or questions to the requests, and indicate which ideas you think are the most promising for developing this year. At the top of my wishlist is an Image Reference fieldtype: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-requests/issues/207 I'm imagining something that works much like a Page Reference fieldtype, with various options for defining which images are selectable and some elegant way of selecting from a large number of images (maybe a modal interface similar to Lister that lets you filter and select images for adding to the field).

Happy New Year! Today I’ve bumped the version on the dev branch to 3.0.170, and it’s quite a lot of updates. This post covers most of them. In this post, there’s also a question for you: what would you like to see in ProcessWire in 2021? https://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.170/

Hi @ryan - it's been a great year for the PW core - thanks for all your hard work as always and very glad to hear that pro module sales are doing so well for you! In addition to the requests repo that @Robin S mentioned, there is also of course the https://processwire.com/talk/forum/5-wishlist-roadmap/ thread. I actually think it would be best to start with the issues repo and once those are all fixed, then move onto those two requests lists. Lots of user input has gone into those lists and I'd hate to see that effort ignored or pushed aside in favor of new suggestions. I have lots of new suggestions / ideas, but I think they should wait so your efforts can focus on outstanding issues first - does that make sense?

Thanks for your input @horst - turns out this error is new to PHP8 because they changed the behavior of the shutup operator so that it no longer silences fatal errors. I have filed an issue for Ryan with a working solution here: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-issues/issues/1299
